CouponCabin is quite a good one as well.

Mira Grant has another series out, the first of which is called Parasite. The third book is due out this year and the first two are *very* good.

If you can get past the gun-porn, they’re pretty OK. The Grimnoir Chronicles are much better although the gun thing still carries over a bit. It’s OK, Larry, we will agree that your penis is just like all the big guns...

Seriously, this blog caters to people who find a quartet daunting? I realise the internet has destroyed your attention span, but we’re not exactly talking about your standard fantasy epic here. Each book is maybe the length of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone!

I started using a standing desk after I sprained my back and was on physiotherapist orders not to sit for more than 15 minutes at a time. I kept going back to it afterwards when my back would get achy. I’m unemployed now and have my laptop set up on a chest of drawers for watching Netflix because otherwise I just end…

My cake was cut up and served on plates to everyone’s table...when everyone was on the dancefloor. The dessert had been on trays carried around. We are still trying to find out if anyone actually got any cake. PestilentialGod and I certainly didn’t!

Seanan McGuire wrote a book called Indexing (http://www.amazon.com/Indexing-Book-…) about what happens when Snow White, one of the evil stepsisters, a shoemaker and a Pied Piper (and a few “normal” people) have to stop fairytales breaking in to reality. The sequel is out this year.

I got handed a bouquet from one of the tables by a bridesmaid (my bouquet was a huge teardrop one and if I had thrown it, probably would have knocked someone out), and my brother caught it. It was a male and female crowd and they were very enthusiastic about it. Not exactly Janet Weiss levels of enthusiasm but pretty…

Skin is taut, not taught!

I don’t remember anything else about the episode...when you get to it, post the title here!

Hey, they used it on SVU! I can’t remember the episode, but it was an Eliot one.

Is it possible it's a modesty thing? I mean, in the alternative universe where male modesty is a thing.

Don't feel bad about not being firm enough at the beginning. If they say something like 'Oh but you've been OK with it up until now', you could say something like 'Well actually I wasn't OK with it, and the more it happens, and the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I am with it. You need to stop touching…

Grumpy Old Wizards by John O'Riley stars an 80 year old (who looks much younger) wizard who opens the book playing gin rummy and avoiding a call from her cop grandson and his partner. I stopped reading after a couple of chapters because I found the writing kind of poor, but it certainly had the potential to be a great…

My big take away from this article? I'm not the only person who pants's their husband! He's gone as far as finding trackies that still have a drawstring to try and stop me. It doesn't.

One of my cousins was invited with her husband, both specifically named. We got a phone call after the RSVP date informing us she would be bringing her daughter, not the husband. So, we sat the teen with my niece who is the same age. The mother sent *her father* over to tell my mother that that daughter was unhappy…

At university, my go-to pickup line was 'I'm bored, want to make out?'

Joe Bageant wrote a series of essays on being poor and southern. Among other things, he explored how the Republicans conned poor whites into voting against their best interests. My bourbon-soaked brain can't find the specific essay I want, but he is really worth reading if you are looking for insight (I'm currently…

My friends did something unspeakable...they asked me what I wanted to do! Mostly cause I'm the weird one but still! We went trampolining, then an afternoon tea at my mum's, both of which were pretty cheap. We went to a burlesque night (where I was dragged up on stage by the boylesque performer and told to spank him…

Yes! I had a teddy bear whose mouth turned down a bit, and I was convinced that the reason he looked like he was frowning was because he was sad that I didn't love him as much as my other teddy bear. I just couldn't love him enough, I tried so hard for so long!
